Abstract

Background: Some neck masses mimic common cystic lesions on imaging and cytology.

Case: A patient presented with a painless submandibular swelling; initial workup suggested a benign cyst.

Conclusion: Neurogenic tumors should be considered if evaluation remains inconclusive.

Keywords: submandibular mass; ranula; schwannoma; diagnostic pitfall

Introduction

A 35-year-old female, residing in an urban area and with no significant past medical history, presented to the outpatient clinic with complaints of intermittent right flank pain for the past six months. The pain was described as dull and aching in nature, with no radiation to other areas. The patient also reported occasional episodes of haematuria. She denied any recent history of urinary tract infections, fever, or weight loss. A personal history of owning a pet dog, which had not been dewormed regularly, was noted during the medical interview
